The assignment was to try and get an example of the different rules used in photography. Some of the rules we used were; Rules of Thirds which is one of the most popular ‘rules’ in photography. It works like these imaginary lines are drawn dividing the image into thirds both horizontally and vertically. You place important elements of your composition where these lines intersect. The human eye is naturally drawn to those lines.
Another technique we used was the Golden Spiral Rule where there should be something leading the eye to the center of the composition.
We also used the Golden Triangle Rule; it’s more convenient for photos with diagonal lines. By drawing a line from one corner of the screen to the opposite corner with a line drawn perpendicular making 3 triangles.

Breathe deeply as the warmth spreads throughout your body. Inhale the freshness that comes just after sunrise. Take a mental picture- sparkling Lago Choshuenco dancing in the slight breeze. Marvel at the green, rolling mountains enveloping the lake; admire the perfection in the clouds sitting timidly atop the hills. Tune your ears to the chirp-chirps and the peep-peeps; find the birds scuttling beneath the leafy, shade trees. Now look just beside you at the student who is also writing on this beautiful morning at this enchanting lake. Watch your student enjoying the serenity of this place as she puts her own feelings on paper. Welcome to New River Academy!

Enjoying class on the lake
